With regard to disease control has a ban on cash transactions been considered? I’ve not seen it so far but surely with the ease of contactless cards and chip and pin surely this would help? I suspect that those who insist on using cash for their day to day shopping will be the older generation who are ironically those most at risk with this virus. Perhaps there should be one single checkout at the supermarkets for cash payments? The cashier head to foot in protective clothing like they’d just walked out of Chernobyl and long queues may make people change their ways? Eric have you worn a noddy suit for an hour let alone all day i suspect an awful lot of people would end up having panic attacks , surely they could hire one of those coin counters where you dump yer cash in and it totals it up like on the old severn bridge. I only like dealing with cash but wend prefers her contactless card so i can see the issues from both sides. Wend is trying to get some shopping delivered so far tesco ,morrisons and iceland have no dates available, this brings up another issue those who are self isolating like oap's will have no choice but to walk to the shops

My wife works in the NHS. She says that hand sanitizer is being stolen off the walls in some hospitals. That goes beyond selfishness. That’s a disgrace but unfortunately not surprising in this society. Really should be punishing such people - perhaps some self isolation at Her Majesty’s pleasure is called for? I mentioned this t'udder day ,the worst bit is in northampton hosp people were taking the sanitiser from the beds of their family and friends. I can't imagine what i would do if i was in hosp and a friend or family member stole the sanitiser, To me thats far worse than a stranger taking it. Prison i read somewhere that if it continues they may end up releasing prisoners. Over 70's self isolating for 4 months, what happens to those that are still working with a mortgage or rent to pay, or those that do not use a computer, those who are housebound, i also read something about putting a sign on your door saying you are isolating and to knock and leave post etc outside the door, in the words of alexi sayle "Might as well put a sign in the window saying come and steal my video" . As you can guarantee some asswipe will take advantage Also saw that over 70's who don't isolate may be fined a grand, and face arrest. The closing schools is a hard decision as most will be out all day probably getting more exposure to the virus than if they were at school

Why don't we "play" the matches over the phone by tossing a coin 3 times? if one team wins the first two tosses, they win the fixture and get the 3 points, if both sides win 1 of the first 2 tosses each, it's a draw. Goals could be recorded by guessing additional tosses afterwards. 1 goal per correct guess. Good job not in same league as West Ham. Even better can you remember playing football with 3 2p pieces when you were at school on your desk, either that or blow football televised

I see Nadine Dorrise has been tested positive for COVID19. Given she was with Boris last Thursday and began to feel unwell on the Friday, I would suggest that Boris is likely going to have to a reason to self isolate now. Christ the length these mp's go to to fiddle their expenses ')

How can we go from getting comfortably beat by a team consisting of academy players to easily beating Sunderland tonight? I just don’t get Rovers sometimes. and that is why we love the gas

oh shall we start a conspiracy thread The official Chinese line is that a snake carrying a Corona Virus was eaten by a Bat, whereupon the virus mutated. The Bat was then caught and sold to someone at the meat market who ate the Bat. During the course of this 'mutation' apparently four Amino Acids were added. Apparently, and I am no expert, this does not happen naturally.
or someone at the Grade 4 Lab dropped a Petri dish or accidental jabbed a neddle into themselves causing the outbreak.
Which one sounds the more reasonable to you?
Where did SARS originate? "SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) – virus identified in 2003. SARS-CoV is thought to be an animal virus from an as-yet-uncertain animal reservoir, perhaps bats, that spread to other animals (civet cats) and first infected humans in the Guangdong province of southern China in 2002."
Another virus that lept from 'some animal' to humans, in China.
Nah it's got to be those pesky russians we should get our own scooby on the case

Also theres no inoculation for this one. There is some fringe speculation that existing vaccinations have reduced the impact to the very young that have had boosters recently. It's way out there and not to be believed as it stands. So even though not having your kids vaccinated is about the most stupid thing a parent can do for their wellbeing on the balance of risk in a normal scenario, it's overwhelmingly likely that it has no link either way to this one. If you really want to get down in the cellar then perhaps youd be interested to read the following... In January 2018, China's first maximum security virology laboratory (biosecurity level 4) designed for the study of the world's most dangerous pathogens opened its doors — in Wuhan. Again cheeres the advice i refered to is below and can be found at the link below "Under most circumstances, the amount of infectious virus on any contaminated surfaces is likely to have decreased significantly by 72 hours." www.gov.uk/government/publications/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-infection-prevention-and-control/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-wn-cov-infection-prevention-and-control-guidanceSection 3 2/3rds of the way down It's no surprise people get things wrong when the government don't update documents as more gets known about it.

C'mon nobbs although they would never get my vote, i admire people like her as it shows that you don't always have to be upper middle class to be an mp, likewise at least she knows what its like to come from an estate and struggle a bit I understand what you are saying Inee, but if you ever listen to her speak then you'll understand that she hasn't got a Scooby about anything! so more educated than corbyn and abbott then

Thanks again ob Here's a short article that mentions how easy it is to spread, not sure if it's correct but does illustrate how you can pass things on without knowing.(slightly off topic it never ceases to amaze me how people moan about health care in foreign climes, you know it wont be to a standard we are used to so why moan ) www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/09/british-couple-contract-virus-on-flight-from-heathrow-to-vietnamI can't workout why during something like this, people jump on planes as surly if you can transmit it from droplets that are airborne ,then it stands to reason that an aircraft with it recycled air would not be the healthiest place in the world. I'm interested to know is the 24hr period outside the body a new figure as the gov site says 72hrs, hence why i'm asking questions. I've got some industrial disinfectants here not sure if they will help but use them as normal anyway. As the current trend seems to be to not get kids inoculated will this virus affect them more than inoculated kids or not. Hope you don't mind the questions but this stuff fascinates me

It's all a total shambles. The only people in the Bristol Rovers "family" who appear to care are the fans. And their number is dwindling by the week. The owners AWOL The administrators AWOL and ineffective The manager deluded The players collectively and individually seriously underperforming Apparently is 1 win in 19 games. Make that 1 in 20 after Sunderland's visit. The fans are revolting. Nah some are quite polite

I'm not sure he can make wholesale changes with the players he has available, THD & Little both injured again, Reilly & Ginelly injured, Ogogo & Upson suspended, Barrett not fit enough, JCH doubtful plus Davies & Jaakkola out long term there aren't really too many options. I'm sure if (as I think will most likely happen) we do lose the fact we have 8/9 players out will be taken into consideration when analysing the manager !!!! I think our players will turn up tonight and leave there souls in the dressing room, If players wont play for the colours then they should feck orf and let some of the yung uns play as they are hungry

If memory serves you work for the nhs , if so may i ask a few questions, im not trying to be a scaremonger am i right in thinking that this virus at present has no cure, and as the advice has been if you think you have it to sit tight and not visit your gp or hospital, then how are people tested. If what weve been told is true then if your unlucky are you left at home to sit it out. To be fair, all the appropriate advice is on the NHS website. i had read that that's why i asked a few questions mainly because it linked to a gov site

Thanks for the reply ob , i read that about italy and my thoughts were what other choice do they have, it must be difficult for a doctor to choose who lives or dies. So what causes those spikes is it as the infection rate rises more people self isolate and after a few day say feck it and start going out again, or is it just the way the virus behaves.
Are staff in hospitals allowed to refuse to treat people with the virus, or are the nhs training certain staff to deal with hospitalised cases to keep the transmission rate as low as possible. not trying to be argumentative but find this stuff fascinating.
I just read about one hospital (northampton i think) where visitors are stealing the hand sanitisers from relatives beds and ripping the wall mounted ones off the walls, must make their friends relative in hosp feel so much better these thieving idiots need to be lined up against a wall.
i have a few more questions but they can wait
